Low-Noise 500mA LDO Regulators
in a 2mm x 2mm TDFN Package
The MAX8902A/MAX8902B low-noise linear regulators
deliver up to 500mA of output current with only
16µVRMS of output noise in a 100kHz bandwidth. These
regulators maintain their output voltage over a wide
input range, requiring only 100mV of input-to-output
headroom at full load.
These LDOs maintain a low 80µA typical supply current, independent of the load current and dropout voltage. The regulator control circuitry includes a
programmable soft-start circuit and short circuit,
reverse current, and thermal-overload protection. Other
features include an enable input and a power-OK output (MAX8902B only).
The MAX8902A output voltage can be set to 1.5V, 1.8V,
2.0V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 4.6V, or 4.7V using the
SELA and SELB inputs. The MAX8902B output voltage
can be set between 0.6V and 5.3V with an external
resistor voltage-divider.

Detailed Description
The MAX8902A/MAX8902B low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators deliver up to 500mA of output current
with only 16µVRMS of output noise in a 100kHz bandwidth. These regulators maintain their output voltage
over a wide input range, requiring only 100mV of inputto-output headroom at full load.
The MAX8902 maintains a low 80µA typical supply current, independent of the load current and dropout voltage. The regulator control circuitry includes a
programmable soft-start circuit and short circuit,
reverse current, and thermal-overload protection. Other
features include an enable input and a power-OK
(POK) output (MAX8902B only). A simplified functional
diagram is shown in Figure 1.
The MAX8902A output voltage can be set to 1.5V, 1.8V,
2.0V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 4.6V, or 4.7V using the
SELA and SELB inputs. The MAX8902B output voltage
can be set between 0.6V and 5.3V with an external
resistor voltage-divider.
Enable (EN)
The MAX8902A/MAX8902B include an enable input,
EN. Pull EN low to shut down the output, or drive EN
high to enable the output. If shutdown is not needed,
connect EN to IN.

Bypass (BYP)
The capacitor connected from BYP to OUT filters the
noise of the reference, feedback resistors, and regulator input stage and provides a high-speed feedback
path for improved transient response. A 0.01µF capacitor rolls off input noise at approximately 32Hz.

The slew rate of the output voltage during startup is
also determined by the BYP capacitor. A 0.01µF
capacitor sets the slew rate to 5V / ms. This startup rate
results in a 50mA slew current drawn from the input at
startup to charge the 10µF output capacitance.

Protection Features
The MAX8902A/MAX8902B are fully protected from an
output short circuit by a current-limiting and thermaloverload circuit. If the output is shorted to GND, the
output current is limited to 700mA (typ). Under these
conditions, the part quickly heats up. When the junction
temperature reaches +165°C, a thermal-limit circuit
shuts off the output device. When the junction cools to
+150°C, the output turns back on in an attempt to
reestablish regulation. While the fault persists, the output current cycles on and off, as the junction temperature slews between +150°C and +165°C.
The MAX8902A/MAX8902B are also protected against
reverse current when the output voltage is higher than
the input. In the event that extra output capacitance is
used at the output, a power-down transient at the input
would normally cause a large reverse current through a
conventional regulator. The MAX8902A/MAX8902B
include a reverse voltage detector that trips when IN
drops 10mV below OUT, shutting off the regulator and
opening the pMOS body diode connection, preventing
any reverse current.
Thermal Considerations
The MAX8902A/MAX8902B are packaged in an 8-pin,
2mm x 2mm TDFN package with an exposed paddle.
The exposed paddle is the main path for heat to leave
the IC, and therefore, must be connected to a ground
plane with thermal vias to allow heat to dissipate from
the device. Thermal properties of the IC package are
given in Table 1.

are sampled only at startup. The regulation voltage can
be set to a different level by cycling EN or IN momentarily to GND.
Setting the Output Voltage (MAX8902B)
The MAX8902B uses external feedback resistors to set
the output regulation voltage as shown in Figure 3. The
output can be set from 0.6V to 5.3V. Set the lower feedback resistor (R2) to 120kΩ or less to minimize FB input
bias current error. Then calculate the value of the upper
feedback resistor (R1) as follows:
⎛V
⎞
R1 = R2 × ⎜ OUT − 1⎟
⎝ VFB
⎠
where VFB is the feedback regulation voltage of 0.6V.
Selecting the Output Voltage (MAX8902A)
Power-OK (MAX8902B)
The MAX8902A output can be set to one of nine voltages by shorting or opening the SELA and SELB
inputs, as shown in Table 2. SELA and SELB should be
connected to GND, IN, or left unconnected.
Alternatively, they may be driven high, low, or open with
external logic; however, the states of SELA and SELB
The MAX8902B includes an additional open-drain output, POK, that pulls low to indicate the output voltage is
in regulation. During startup, POK is high impedance
until the output voltage rises to 91% of its regulation
level. If an overload occurs at the output, or the output
is shut down, POK is high impedance.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
7
MAX8902A/MAX8902B
The BYP capacitor value can be adjusted from 0.001µF
to 0.1µF to change the startup slew rate according to
the following formula:
Startup slew rate = (5V / ms) x (0.01µF / CBYP)
Note that this slew rate applies only at startup, and that
recovery from a short circuit occurs at a slew rate
approximately 500 times slower.
Also note that, being a low-frequency filter node, BYP is
sensitive to leakage. BYP leakage currents above 10nA
cause measurable inaccuracy at the output and should
be avoided.
